The greatest headline 6 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.600 I've ever seen on CNN just came up, starts their 7 00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:25.359 six o'clock hour back East headline, Canada is bending the 8 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:30.039 knee just like Mexico. Right that's on CNN. Think about 9 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:32.759 the moment we're living through right now, and how great 10 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.719 it is for the entire world, and how great it 11 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.359 is obviously for all of us as Americans. We have 12 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.039 had the greatest country in the history of the world. 13 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.799 Not perfect, right, There's never been a perfect human endeavor, 14 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.000 but the greatest nation on earth ever. The only reason 15 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.960 the world is free right now and not under the 16 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.119 total control of evil is the United States of America. 17 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:57.679 Others have helped and contributed and deserve great credit for that, 18 00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.759 but without the United States of America, the higher world 19 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.920 is ruled by evil right now, Hitler and his successors, 20 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.799 Saddam and his successors, et cetera. The whole world is 21 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.920 in darkness. If not for the United States. So the 22 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.840 most generous people in the history of the world live here, 23 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.280 and yet we've allowed ourselves to become a punching bag, 24 00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.640 to get kicked around, to be constantly apologizing, and then 25 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.799 administration after administration saying no, we're not great, We're not 26 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.200 better than anybody else. Barack Obama made it his whole centerpiece, 27 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.519 and now every lefty to follow that's their core belief. 28 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.640 We are no better than anybody else. 29 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.159 No world order that elevates one nation or group of 30 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:41.760 people over another will. 31 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.280 Succeed, really better than anybody among nations will hold. And they, 32 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.280 the Democrats, have become even more radical since them, well, 33 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.920 no blank that we are better. We're better than an 34 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:54.959 awful lot of people. We're better in an awful lot 35 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.599 of nations. We're not perfect, but the United States of 36 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:03.000 America is better than most nations on Earth. The United 37 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.840 States of America is the reason the world is free, 38 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.519 or at least the parts of it that are free 39 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.680 are free. So the fact that we let ourselves get 40 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.319 killed off by the tens and hundreds of thousands from 41 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.680 evil regimes that conduct these chemical attacks in our country 42 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.319 via open borders, and they do it through fentanyl. That 43 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.280 that is suicidal. That's a national strategy only doctor Kavorkian 44 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:32.759 could support. So thank god literally for Donald Trump stepping 45 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:34.800 up and saying, no, we're the United States of America. 46 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.560 We're just not going to flex our muscle. We're going 47 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.240 to use our muscle not for wrong, but for right. See, 48 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:44.439 that's the key distinction. If you use your power to 49 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.800 do wrong, well, that's an abuse. If you fail to 50 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.879 use your power to do right and do stop wrong, 51 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.280 that's surrender. What's been going on year after year after 52 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.080 year these Democrats right here in Colorado, rather that's Johnston, 53 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.599 Hick and Looper Bennett, the whole crew of them, whether 54 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.960 it's nationally, Obama, Biden, the whole crew of them. They 55 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:12.120 have been surrendering. They have made a conscious decision not 56 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.319 to use our power to protect our own citizens. That 57 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:21.280 they've been making a conscious effort to surrender and to 58 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.879 not use the power to do good, to not use 59 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.360 the power to stop bad. Donald Trump is saying enough 60 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.080 of that. We're the greatest nation in history. We're going 61 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.520 to use our power to do good things and stop 62 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.080 bad things. It's called peace through strength, and it works 63 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.560 on multiple levels. And we're watching it work right now 64 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.560 with the terriffs. I'm sure you've seen the news of 65 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.879 the day at this point that Trump imposes the tariffs 66 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.439 and what happens. I've read to you the CNN ondline 67 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.680 that started the show. Canada bends the knee, just like Mexico. 68 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.199 And so now both of those governments have agreed to 69 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.360 all of this very specific concrete action, including massive troops, etc. 70 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.560 At the border to stop the flow of fentanyl, to 71 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:07.319 stop the flow of illegal immigration. Promise is made, Promises keptain. 72 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:11.439 My hope is that the benefit of this goes even 73 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.319 beyond saving all of these precious, innocent human lives that 74 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.120 otherwise would have been lost to fentanyl, and some still 75 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.720 will be because under the Left there's already so much 76 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.040 fentanyl circulating in this country because the Left intentionally left 77 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.959 the borders open. But lives will be saved because of this, 78 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.800 and each of those lives is precious. And my hope 79 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:36.319 is that over time this lives beyond these four years 80 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.279 of Trump, that this is now first of all, the 81 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.560 new GOP and the way the GOP is going to 82 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.560 act and orient itself, and it gets to some great 83 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.879 news locally. I'll get to in a second, but also 84 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.560 that this now, this now becomes the new norm. This 85 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.800 now becomes what America expects. And that's the big change 86 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.759 since election day, right and certainly since inauguration Day. It's 87 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.759 Americans saying, hey, wait a second, we don't have to 88 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.800 live this way. Have you ever had that happen in 89 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.839 your own life where you just you are convinced that 90 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.079 something was always going to be with you. It could 91 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:12.959 be a someone, it could be a something, it could 92 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.319 be some problem in your life, and then all of 93 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.439 a sudden something happened and you realize, I don't have 94 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.879 to live that way anymore. No, it can be better, 95 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.000 it can be different. That's what America has tasted since 96 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.800 the election of Donald Trump and getting a big gulp 97 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.920 since election days, since he was inaugurated. So America can 98 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.600 see right now, no, we don't have to live that 99 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.079 way anymore. We can be safer, we can use our 100 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.959 power to stop bad things. Yeah, and once America's had 101 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.439 a taste to that, America's not going back unless the 102 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.480 GOP screws it up royally. And I understand the GOP 103 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.680 could do that, but if people are sitting around thinking, 104 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.560 oh no, no, no, no, it really is not going 105 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:56.240 to continue on this tremendous arc because the Democrats are 106 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.680 going to get their act together and they're going to 107 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:03.000 see what I just said, that America is not going 108 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.480 back and the Democrats are going to change. Anybody who 109 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.160 think that's the case, you got to hear this sound. 110 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.639 This is the outgoing chair of the DNC, just on 111 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:17.319 Saturday explaining to that the Democratic delegates who are electing 112 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.040 the new chair what the rules are. And as you 113 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.160 listen to this, you'll know, No, the Democrats they're not 114 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.920 coming back. They're not coming back anytime soon. We're going 115 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.160 to export. We're finding out ways to expert. I guess 116 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.199 because of our gender balance provisions. On this next ballot, 117 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.319 you will be able to vote for two candidates of 118 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:39.639 any gender. 119 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.680 On the next ballot. 120 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.240 Listen to that. In the crowd, this hard left Democrat 121 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.399 crowd starts clapping, Oh, now we can vote for who 122 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.759 we want to. You will be allowed to vote for 123 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.839 two candidates of any gender. So think about it under 124 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.560 their rules that they're not allowed to vote for who 125 00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.240 they want to, that they have got to vote for 126 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.439 one candidate of one gender, one candidate of another. The 127 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.639 only good news in all of that is, at least 128 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.879 for this vote, the Democratic Party is acknowledging the undeniable 129 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:13.240 medical biological reality there are only two genders. Think about that. 130 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.199 But then when there's this moment of sanity that some 131 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.319 of the crowd are now cheering for, I can vote 132 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.680 for who I want to. I'm not being told I 133 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.160 have to vote for somebody because of their gender. Then 134 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.720 he corrects himself or somebody corrects him and says, oh, no, 135 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.199 that's actually not true. 136 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.800 Okay, so on this next ballot you will be able 137 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.680 to vote for two candidates of any gender. 138 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:35.759 On the next. 139 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.439 Ballot, have. 140 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.160 Perceive I'm going to turn to. 141 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.240 Helen to clarify this last one. 142 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.279 So now Helen comes out and says, oh, no, no, 143 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.759 that's not the case. You cannot vote for any candidate 144 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.079 you want to. You've still got to vote for at 145 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.399 least one of each gender. Think about that. So, yeah, 146 00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.519 they're not coming back. But if there was any doubt 147 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.720 about that, then you have the DNC vice chair get 148 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.000 up and say, pay attention to me, not because of 149 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.439 what I have to say, but because of the color 150 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.240 of my skin. The opposite of doctor King. Hey, I 151 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.839 am speaking and I would love your attention. There is 152 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:21.759 a black woman at this podium, and I deserve your attention. Wow. Seeah, 153 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.199 they are not coming back anytime soon. And we haven't 154 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.600 even gotten to the hog wild stuff. Yeah that David 155 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.600 hog Yeah, the guy wants to take away everybody's guns. 156 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.240 Who is now their vice chair? So yeah, they're not 157 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.519 coming back now. Colorado. Hey, you know, you still get 158 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.840 the Democrats all over the country who will lie about 159 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.000 who they really are and what their agenda really is. 160 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.080 And we got some of those in Colorado and Hicking, 161 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.600 Looper and Bennett and Polis and they've been able to 162 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.480 get away with it for a while. Yeah, Polus's case 163 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.519 because of the big money and the other case protective media. 164 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.879 But this country, now, this country has seen what life 165 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.759 can be like, life can be like that we can 166 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.240 return to sanity. The scales have fallen off of eyes. 167 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.759 They're starting to see these lefties, even the milk toast 168 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.919 ones who play this moderate con like Bennett and Hick 169 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.480 and Looper, that they're starting to see these people for 170 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.919 who they really are. And when we come back, you know, 171 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:21.039 we'll celebrate Trump in America's big victories today. But I 172 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:23.399 want to give you some polling from the left that 173 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.879 confirms what I've been telling you on air. The worm's turning. 174 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.600 Even here in Colorado. There is hope. You're on the 175 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:29.559 Dan Kapla Show. 176 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:40.720 And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast. 177 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:44.120 I had a great talk with Mexico and. 178 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:47.759 We had President Jean Baum. 179 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.600 There's a woman. I like her very much and we've 180 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.360 had good relationships. But we have to stop venton off 181 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.600 from coming in, whether I like somebody or not, and 182 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:59.080 we have to stop the illegal aliens from coming in. 183 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.320 I think we've lost too one hundred thousand people on 184 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.879 average a year for many years. Much higher than one 185 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:06.720 hundred thousand, could be even closer to three hundred thousand. 186 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.440 And they've agreed to put it in ten thousand sold 187 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.080 is permanently like forever, ten thousand soldiers at their side 188 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.559 of the border and stop fentanyl and illegal aliens from 189 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:20.679 coming into our country. 190 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.039 They have a big incentive to do. Yeah. And then 191 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.399 the CNN headline we started the show with Canada like 192 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.840 Mexico bends the knee, right, So Canada later in the 193 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.000 day agreed to do the same thing and listen as 194 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.120 the United States of America. We have every right to 195 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:39.200 demand that demand that no more chemical weapons attacks on 196 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.519 our country out of Mexico or Canada. And that's what 197 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.399 fentanyl is. Listen to those numbers, right, Yeah, I'm sure 198 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.879 you've had some contact with, if not know intimately somebody 199 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:53.360 who's died offen a young person from fetanyl. What same nation, 200 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.799 let alone, the strongest nation in the history of the world, 201 00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.519 would stand here and put up with that for a day, 202 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.000 for a day. But the left not only puts up 203 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.919 with it, they expanded no, no more, no more. That's 204 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.519 why I think this change is likely permanent here. But 205 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.159 I want to get to something that ties into that, 206 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.440 which is, Okay, what would it take for that to 207 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.240 really affect Colorado? Because we've seen it affect so many 208 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.399 other places in America in the last election. But Colorado, 209 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.679 we know is deep deep blues, so and much of 210 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:29.600 the media deeply, deeply committed to the Democratic Party. So 211 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:34.039 what does it take to break that stranglehold in Colorado? Well, 212 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.720 I think it's happening right now. Here's a headline from 213 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.480 the Denver Post in a warning for Colorado Democrats. A 214 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:44.720 new poll shows their popularity slipping. Now, what that from 215 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.960 the Denver Post. But you know what, it's even better 216 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.639 than that for Republicans, and I'll get to that in 217 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.639 a second first paragraph. A majority of Colorado voters have 218 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.080 a negative view about the Democratic and Republican parties, according 219 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.360 to a recent poll that also found they increasingly identify 220 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:07.240 Republicans with the working class and solutions to economic problems. Now, 221 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.679 what have we been talking about here forever? We've been 222 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.120 talking about for the GOP to win and for the 223 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.879 GOP to matter, the GOP has to be the party 224 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:21.399 of the working class. And now in deep blue Colorado, 225 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.360 voters are seeing Republicans as the party of the working 226 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.440 class and the party with solutions to economic problems. That's 227 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.399 right where you need to be. 228 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:31.600 Right. 229 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.600 It doesn't guarantee victory in a state like Colorado, but 230 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.919 the door is open, the piece goes on to say, 231 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.120 and I'll skim around a little bit. The poll comes 232 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.080 as the National Democratic Party searches for a path forward 233 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.320 in the wake of the trouncing, my word, etc. The 234 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.720 strength of Republicans identification with working class issues is a 235 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:55.200 warning shot for a party that's lost ground across the country. 236 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.320 And then it starts, you know, quoting some political scientists 237 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:03.600 and Democratic Party people, etc. The poll conducted by Keating 238 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.600 Research found that forty five percent of respondents had a 239 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:11.360 favorable view of the Democratic Party against fifty one percent 240 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.840 who viewed the party negatively. Just thirty seven percent had 241 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.600 a favorable view of the Republican Party versus fifty six 242 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:24.200 who viewed it unfavorably. Listen, if you're talking about an 243 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.039 eight point spread, and I'm not seeing that translates directly, 244 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.440 but if you're talking about an eight point spread now 245 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.519 in Colorado, that is real improvement over where it's been. 246 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.960 But the bigger thing is the weakening of support for Democrats. 247 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.279 Because you have to start right. You have to start 248 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.960 with what's true, and we know what's true that the 249 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.720 people who pay a lot of attention to this I 250 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:47.840 assume you do because you're listening to a show like this, 251 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.440 that the simple truth is a Colorado Democratic Party is 252 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.639 controlled by far far left, secular radicals. We know that's true, 253 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.960 and it's allowed so much unnecessary, horrible stuff to happen 254 00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:03.440 in Colorado. The point is this that for the GOP 255 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.960 to win, starting point, not the end, has to be 256 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.279 eyes getting open to what the Democratic Party in Colorado 257 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.320 really is. And this pole confirms and by the way, 258 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.639 Keating research is not from the right, that is not 259 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:22.399 a conservative polster. This poll confirms that Colorado's are starting 260 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.000 to see who the Democratic Party really is and they're 261 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.840 starting to cut through the lie and the con right. 262 00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:33.039 So and that's the reason why this radical party in 263 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.960 Colorado has as its statewide officeholders these boring old white guys, 264 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:40.960 you know, Hick and Looper Bennett Polis who acts like 265 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.960 the boring old white guy I mean publicly, you know, 266 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:48.639 feeding this phony moderate image. And so people are starting 267 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.879 to see, wait a second, that's a facade. That's not 268 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:53.679 who that party really is. That's key to the GOP. 269 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:56.799 Hav any chance that doesn't guarantee the GOP any success. 270 00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.360 For that to happen, the GOP's got to have some 271 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:03.000 great candidate, run really good campaigns, have some luck, have 272 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.440 some things go right, and then Ryan, It's what I've 273 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:08.720 always been saying, Once the GOP has that one big 274 00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:14.399 breakthrough statewide winner, okay, then things start to turn quickly 275 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.879 because once that happens, you know it's possible, it's going 276 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:19.759 to be easier to get the big money in here. 277 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.399 For other races, and now you've got a face of 278 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.039 the party who the people of Colorado, at least in 279 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:29.759 that one race, have elected, and then the whole thing 280 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.080 can start to change, just like the whole history of 281 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:38.480 the GOP. If Jane Norton had won that primary, everybody recognizes, 282 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.559 including Michael Bennett. I've had multiple people close to Bennett 283 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.440 tell me they thought he would have lost by eight 284 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:45.399 points to Jane Norton. I think it would have been ten. 285 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.480 But the point being that, hey, Ken Peter Farren square 286 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.279 in the primary, no gripe about that. He won a 287 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.440 close race. But if she had won that primary and 288 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.000 been our senator, I think the whole rest of the 289 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.399 history changes for Colorado because then you've got that clearly 290 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:05.200 recognized statewide leader. You know who's who's got that level 291 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:09.000 of success, has that big office. Things change, and that's 292 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.480 what that's what's going to happen in Colorado here. Eventually, 293 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:16.279 the question is this cycle the next cycle five cycles later? 294 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.759 THEMS aren't going to change, right, thems aren't going to change. 295 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.919 They are who they are. So it's up to the 296 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.200 GOP now to do those other things that have to 297 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.799 be done. And part of it is a united GOP 298 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.919 because none of us have to be you know, math 299 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.559 majors to get that. For a GOP candidate to have 300 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.080 a chance in Colorado, the GOP has to be united. 301 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.480 And is that even possible? Love your take on that? 302 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:41.440 Eight five to five for zero five eight two five 303 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.200 five text d An five seven seven three nine Ryan, 304 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.159 do you think that's possible in Colorado? 305 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.799 I wonder how much of the national scene is going 306 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.559 to impact what happens in Colorado. And well, they're speaking 307 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:57.080 with George Brockler here coming up in just a little bit, 308 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:02.639 that we witness these ice rates working deporting bad people 309 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:04.440 from Denver, Aurora, etc. 310 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.400 Witness the tariff's working, watching. 311 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.759 Everything like that work Dan, watching Gabe Evans be a 312 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.039 tremendous representative of the eighth Congressional District, watching Jeff Crank 313 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.119 and Jeff Hurd succeed in their freshman terms as members 314 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.559 of Congress, watching Lauren Bobert continue to be a big 315 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:23.960 part of the Republican Party in Colorado. It's not going 316 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:26.880 to happen overnight, but I think a sequence in series 317 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.680 of victories in the Trump administration over the next two 318 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:30.680 years could go a long way. 319 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.000 Yeah, but for Colorado is going to take a great 320 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.240 Colorado candidate winning a big race for that worm to 321 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.440 really turn. But what I'm saying, Ryan, what I'm. 322 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:40.359 Saying is that they've got to we have to break 323 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.480 through with a win here, and that's really hard to 324 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:43.920 do when we're not in power in any way. 325 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:44.279 Right. 326 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:46.640 But what I'm saying is this poll confirms what we've 327 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:48.720 been talking about on this show. The door is open 328 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.319 now because scales are falling off eyes and people are 329 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.000 seeing who the Democrats really are. Listen, you could not 330 00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.680 get a poll in Colorado, and this is the significant 331 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:01.440 finding showing that that voters are identify find Republicans as 332 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.160 the party of the working class. That only happens in 333 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.839 Colorado because you know, historically Trump hasn't done great here, 334 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.480 although they came within five points and sixteen. But the 335 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:16.119 point is Trump has done a tremendous service to all 336 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.599 of Colorado and everybody who wants to see the radical 337 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.559 left the throned. Because clearly, the only reason you have 338 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.480 voters in Colorado now saying Republicans are the party of 339 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:30.079 the working class is because Trump exposed the Democrats. He 340 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:35.000 exposed them in this campaign and people can see, as 341 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:38.640 we've talked about even since he was elected, the Trump effects. 342 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:42.279 So the door's open now in Colorado. Well that's George 343 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.000 Brockler about that a little bit. George is going to 344 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:46.119 join us at four thirty six, we're going to talk 345 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.599 to you legal immigration here in Colorado. This poll also 346 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.480 showing that it's a big issue here as it should be, 347 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:54.960 and I think it's becoming a bigger issue as people say, wait, 348 00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:57.880 there is hope. We don't have to live with people 349 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.920 here illegally committing other crimes here on the day. And Captain. 350 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.240 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 351 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.640 It doesn't look to me like Trump is getting tired 352 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:17.000 of winning. But we have never seen this much winning 353 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.880 so fast from any president. Let's go to the VIP 354 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.200 line talk to a guy quite familiar with the habit 355 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.039 of winning. That would be George Brockler, who just won 356 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:29.440 out in the New twenty third. He is the first 357 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:31.839 DA of the twenty third. So George is the statue 358 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:34.759 up yet And I know you wouldn't use taxpayer dollars, 359 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.039 but maybe some private donations. I mean, think about it. 360 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.160 You are the very first DA two hundred years from now, 361 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:43.920 when the great people of Douglas County are celebrating things 362 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:47.759 at the courthouse, numero uno, George Brockler, that's all they're 363 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:56.160 going to talk about. I thought George might have been speechless. 364 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.440 He's probably never had an introduction like that. I think 365 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.119 it's a cell phoney. I think you're introduction jumbled the signal. Oh, 366 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:04.480 that could do it too, that could do it too. 367 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:06.680 When we, you know, back to the future, George, how 368 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.119 you doing, I'm living the dream? 369 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:09.640 How are you guys? 370 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:11.440 Well, thank you, my friend. When do I get that 371 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:12.319 royalty check? 372 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:16.079 But you know, and we've been having this debate for 373 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.839 over twenty years, I think at this point, and I 374 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.240 don't think I have the ability to claim credit for 375 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:24.119 it entirely, but I can't pay I use it every day. 376 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:25.200 I use it every single day. 377 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:26.759 Where'd you get it? You got it from me? 378 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.359 I can't remember where it was. I want to say 379 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:32.440 it predated you, but I. 380 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:37.440 Know I have given you credit relentlessly, year after year 381 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:39.480 after year for all those great jokes you gave me 382 00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:43.839 for the big SmackDown at Invesco. But I take full 383 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:46.640 credit for this one. But George, Georg, you just published 384 00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:52.839 another piece. You're like another Alexander Hamilton with this prolific writing, 385 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:57.200 this one in the Denver Gazette calling out Polus on 386 00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:59.920 his sanctuary city. I think flip flop would be the 387 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.000 light term. So lay it honors for those who haven't 388 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.039 seen it yet. Yeah, tell folks all about it. 389 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.559 I heard the governor denounce the suggestion that Colorado was 390 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.640 a sanctuary state, not just in description, but in any way, 391 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.359 shape or form, and then he counted the cooperation between 392 00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.039 Nice and I thought, and I think I mentioned this 393 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:28.519 to Ryan, was this Ai You know what I mean? 394 00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.480 Was this like bizarro world? Because that is not at 395 00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.440 all what I recalled taking place since he took office 396 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:39.160 in January of twenty nineteen. So inspired by John Fabricatory 397 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:41.400 and Jimmy Sangenberger and others, I'd have said, you know 398 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:42.799 what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna dip in and take 399 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.400 a look at all the bills that got signed since then, 400 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:48.119 and they're signed by him. I don't recall a single 401 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:50.440
